Three years ago, Bonchurch resident Stephen Izatt warned OnTheWight readers about engine thieves at Wheeler’s Bay.
Sadly Stephen’s boat was subject to another loss last weekend.
He says
“I have a boat kept down at Wheeler’s Bay boat park in front of the cottages. We have an auxiliary engine that we took off the boat yesterday and put it down close by.
“As we hastily moved the car to let somebody pass to get to their boat further down, we made the mistake of leaving it there. When we returned, it was gone.
“Being quite a portable little engine it would be relatively easy for somebody to have picked it up. The Honda outboard is our back up unit should our main engine fail.”
Stephen went on to say,
“Needless to say we would like to have it returned and very grateful to hear from anyone who may have it or know something about its whereabouts.
“Perhaps somebody saw somebody carrying it along the revetment or kindly picked it up with the intention of returning it.”
If you know anything, please get in touch.
